Austria’s far-right is on course to take a place in the country’s government after a prominence in Sunday’s parliamentary elections.

The country’s main conservative party, led by current foreign minister Sebastian Kurz reached over 30 per cent of the vote, but is expected to seek a coalition with the far-right Freedom Party (FPO), which is posting one of its strongest showing on record.

Both the OVP and FPO have promised tightening Austria’s borders and more efficient process of accepting asylum-seekers, including shorter periods for juridical procedure for the applicants, and also repatriation of those non-eligible for the status.
